HE Editors of THE TECH take great

pleasure in dedicating this number to theClass of '99. At this period of the Sopho-more year, with the election of its "Technique "Board, the Class begins to take its share inthose larger Institute affairs in whose leader-ship it is to be pre-eminent next season. Inthe management of its drill and athletic af-fairs, '99 has shown a marked ability whichwe feel sure will continue to be still furthermanifest. What is more important, however,the Class is distinguished by an absence ofpetty politics, and by a genuine public spiritwvhich we hope for the good of Technologymay never suffer diminution.

HE annuall i-eport of the Alumni Associa-tion is at hand and is decidedly an en-

couraging ofie. It is stated that while c" in the,annual report a year ago it was said that the

interest," " that is fortunately still. more thecase for the year just ended." The most im-portant business of the Executive Committeehas been the initial work leading to the estab-lishment of the Technology Club, and thesuccess of these labors has exceeded theirmost sanguine anticipations. The Committeeon the School reports progress on the samehigh standard which has made for Technologya reputation throughout the world, and addthat "there should be no doubt that as ourAlumni advance in influence and wealth, thematter of lack of funds, which has so ham-pered the progression of the Institute in evenmore advanced lines of science, will be over-come."

The condition of the Gymnasium is espec-ially called to the notice of the Alumni. It isthe opinion of the Committee " that if there isany department in the school which needs theearnest support and interest of the Alumni it isthe department of physical training. An at-tractive gymnasium, under good management,would certainly tend to improve the physicalcondition of the students, and would also tend,in a certain way, to bring about a closer collegefeeling, of the lack of which we often hear.We, therefore, urge upon the Alumni thenecessity of taking some steps to secure forthe Institute a gymnasium, and a developmentof its department of Physical Culture to a parwith the general standing of the other depart-ments."

A special circular enclosed with the reportcalls attention to the " Life and Letters ofWilliam Barton Rogers," of which, an accountwas given in these columns. This vitallyinteresting work to all Institute men is pub-lished by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., for $4,and discounts can be obtained on this price

LTHOUGH the Intercollegiate Drill ismore than two months ahead, prepara-

tions for it have been in progress some time,and every effort is being made to insure thesuccess of the battalion. Technology hasborne herself very honorably in precedingcontests. It is, therefore, with more thanordinary inter6st that we anticipate theachievements of 900oo, on the 2ISt of May.But it is eminently desirable that the upperclassmen should look at the coming contestas the affair of Technology as a whole. Whileit is for the Freshmen to take the active part,it is for the student body to support them byevery possible manifestation of their interest inthe contest. Attendance upon some of thedrills by upper classmen is desirable, andsuggestions or criticism will be gladly re-ceived. With the hearty support of their fel-low students, the battalion will go into thecontest with the determination to keep up thepace already set for them.

HE Committee on the Memorial to Presi-dent Walker, having obtained by general

appeals only $450, put the matter two weeksago into the handsof collectors in the difTerencourses. Last Saturday, at the time appointedfor these collectors to report, only about $50more came in. This is a matter not pleasantto speak of, but we believe still that verymany men have only neglected, throughthoughtlessness, to make their contributions.It is necessary for the Committee to know atonce upon what they may depend.

Typical Theses.

COURSE VIII.

[Thlesis of Messrs. Manson and Haskins.]

ASIDE firom the engineering courses at theInstitute, Course VIII. deals with subjects ofa purely scientific nature, and the theses inthis course are of the nature of scientific in-

have determined to continue the work doneby Messrs. C. G. Abbot, '94, and G. K.Burgess, '96, in investigating osmotic pres-suire, and will endeavor to test experimentallythe application of the laws for solutions whichcorrespond to the laws of Boyle and Charlesfor gases, that is, the laws expressing the re-lations between pressure and volume. Thesubstances which they will investigate areether solutions of certain organic substances.

The necessary osmotic pressures will beobtained from measurements of the changesof vapor pressure, first -with the solution atconstant temperature, and then at constantpressure. The former quantities will-be deter-mined by means of an oil manometer, and thelatter by an electrical resistance thermometerwhich Messrs. Manson and Haskins are de-signing. Both instruments are to be of adifferential nature. The volumes will bededuced from specific gravity measurements.

The Sophomore Dinner.

IN addition to the elegantly furnished re-ception room, convenient arrangements, andbright and handsomely fitted dining room ofthe Brunswick Hotel, the nearness of the In-stitute buildings lent another charm to themerry gathering at the Sophomore Dinnerlast Friday, and seemed to give to all agreater enthusiasm and love for Technology.Although not surpassing the previous dinnerof the Class of '99. in size, exactly the samenumber being present on both occasions,there was a considerable increase in thefellowship, good feeling, and postprandialability exhibited. The menus were tastefullygotten up, and were decorated by a cleverdesign by Mr. Rood. The design -showed acollege man in cap and gown, gaily clinkingglasses with a jester, and bore the appropriatemotto: "Eat, drink, and be merry, for to-

"morrow we' flunk."When all had partaken of those pleasures

cellent dinner and an equally good digestion,President Hammond arose, and after an ap-propriate address, in which he mentioned theneed of more social life at Technology, intro-duced the toastmaster, Mr. A. L. Hamilton.After thanking the class in a few well chosenwords for the honor of presiding over them,the toastmaster introduced Mr. Renshaw,who paid a high tribute to General Walker,in response to the toast, "Our Late Pres-ident." Messrs. Hazeltine, White, and Ad-dicks then rendered a number of banjo andguitar selections, which were received withappreciation and applause. Under the headof" Athletics," Mr. H. L. Morse told of thegood work done in various lines by Lathrop,Burch, Blake, and others, and urged allpresent to take a greater interest in thisdepartment.

Mr. Stebbins responded to "Technique,"giving an outline of the growth of the bookfrom its beginning to its present position atthe head of all college annuals, and urgingthe necessity of selecting a good board of edi-tors, and the duty of the class in supportingthem. The '99 quartette, Messrs. Pierce,Adams, Johnson, and Page, sang severalselections, after which Mr. G. M. Richmondrecited some verses written for the occasionentitled "The Brotherhood," and giving awarning to "bluffers." Mr.' Corse gave a"Retrospect" of the various events throughwhich the class has passed, and got off sev-eral very clever puns. The interests of THETECH were ably championed by Mr. Sheak,who told the aim of the paper and urgedbetter support from the class in the way ofrepresentatives on its editorial staff. Mr.Vogt then gave several piano solos, afterwhich Mr. Rood, in response to the toast,"Faint Heart," told some interesting adven-tures of "his friend Jones." Mr. Hollidayspoke on "The Institute "; Mr. Johnson sangseveral songs, and Mr. Shumaker closed thelist by a discourse on "I Our Freshmen," giving,in a particularly unique and interesting way,

an account of their origin and his opinion oftheir actions.

The regular programme having been dis-posed of, Mr. Emery sang " The Little TinSoldier"; stories were told by the toastmasterand a number of others; college songs weresung, and the time passed very pleasantly untilafter midnight, when with a hearty cheer forInstitute and class, the party broke up.

SPEECH OF MR. STEBBINS ON " TECHNIQUE."

It takes more than a year in time, and fromthree thousand to thirty-five hundred dollarsin money, of which twenty-five hundred mustbe obtained from advertisements, to produceseventeen hundred copies of this book. Thiswork is accomplished by the energy and per-severance of twelve hard working men, sup-ported by their classmates and by all of thestudents. The importance of realizing theposition of "Technique" cannot be empha-sized too strongly. It is not a book represent-ing twelve men, -the editors, -nor repre-senting one class; but it represents the entireInstitute.

From a little paper pamphlet of one hun-dred and fifty pages, modestly appearing in'85, " Technique" has grown until, accord-ing to no less an authority than the UnziversityMAg'azinze, it is the first college annual in theUnited States. In its artistic work it is unap-proachable,-it stands alone. In the designand execution of its drawings, it comparesfavorably with professional work. Of itsliterary productions any college might wellbe proud, but coming, as it does, from ascientific school where, of necessity, but littletime can be given to the study of English (allpardon to Course IX.), our pride in it is stillmore justifiable.

'rhe most surprising thing is the finish andcare given to details. As an example of thelatter, take the book of '97, in which everypage came before the reader right side up, andevery drawing and illustration in its properplace. If only the authors of our text-books

were as considerate as are our class editors,probably everybody would save enough timeduring one term to attend the only socialevent of the year,-the Class Dinner. Fromthe accuracy of the various statistics down tothe excellency of the posters, everythingshows care and forethought.

Each year something has been added andeach year the responsibility becomes greater,thus the responsibility varies as the cube ofthe improvement. Many old editors havesaid that it was only a question of time beforethe book would have to be given up on ac-count of the increase of work at the Institute.The Class of '99 must now undertake this re-sponsibility, and this work. Will she proveherself worthy of this great trust? Will shecarry the book triumphantly forward, winningnew laurels for herself and for Alma Mater?If she is to uphold her well earned fame,every man in the class must do his part. Wemust first choose a Board wherein each manholds his place, not because he is a good fel-low, not because he has good friends, but be-cause he is of all the men in the class, theman best suited to carry on the work of hisdepartment. Having then the best Board that'99 can produce, let every man give it hisheartiest support. There is work for us alland we must all do our share. Only thus canwe uphold the honor of our class and the fameof our Institute.

EXTRACT OF THE SPEECH OF MR. CORSE ON

" RETROSPECT."

As the first duty of a speaker is to tell whathe is- going to talk about, I will say for thebenefit of those of us who do not belong tothat celebrated course which has had the op-portunity to become proficient in logic andsuch branches, that my title means simplythat I am to sum up the events in the historyof the class.

Having successfully passed that series ofback-breaking exercises called entrance ex-

ams., we assembled in the Rogers Buildingonly to be forcibly reminded of our freshnessby the sea of instructions to be followed.

For the first term's work, I need only re-mind you of the Mechanical Drawing room,the Chem. Lab., and the Armory, not for-getting the South End grounds. Our first'semies" troubled a few of us, but most of uscame back with renewed hopes and a desireto keep up our good reputation.

In the second term, the first event of impor-tance was our first glimpse of 6 Technique," butthe most important was the Drill, where we dis-tingu'ished ourselves greatly. The " finals"which followed soon after, had more appallingresults then the "'semies," for over sixty ofour number found a more appreciative audi-ence than the author of " See me in regardto -

Although the smallest class in the Institute,our spirits were none the less high when wereturned last fall. We were fully determinedto initiate 900oo in order to see how it seemedto be Sophs. The football game came easily,but we nearly met our match, as far as pushgoes, in "4 naughty naught."

More interesting than the rush itself werethe events on the day following; I9oo wasfully determined to carry sticks and we wereready to stop them.

Everything now went smoothly until thatmorning when we heard the sad news of thedeath of our beloved President.

The suspension of exercises on this accountonly rushed us nearer those terrible " semies"which many of us will remember so long.With these exceptions the term was a pleasantone. Our weekly visits to our friend whoshows such deep affection for the Co-eds.,and who, I think, would do well to imitatethe example of Captain Bigelow and illustratehis lectures with a stereopticon, together withour regular naps in Physics, were greatlyenjoyed.

The joy which we all felt at the close of thelast exams. was somewhat rudely shaken

when we received our semi-annual love letterfrom the Secretary, and our billet-doux (billest due) from the Bursar. But such thingsdo not worry us long, so again we are back,more firmly united in class spirit and readyto support '99. And when we shall have fin-ished our course here at the Institute, suc-cessfully or otherwise, and have entered andpassed through our future careers, we shallstill have the remembrance of this, our formerlife to make us content. For as ThomasMoore says,-

"When time who steals our years away,Shall steal our pleasures too,

The memory of the past shall stay,And half our joys renew."

SPEECH OF MR. SHEAK IN RESPONSE TO

6 THE TECH."

Classmates, I consider it an honor to be arepresentative of THE TECH; but I considerstill a greater honor to be one of your repre-sentatives on THE TECH. It is not my in-tention in the time that has been allotted meto speak of our subscriptions or finances. Itshall be my endeavor, however, to point outto you the exact policy of our paper and yourresponsibility toward it. The aim of THETECH has always been one and the same, andthat is to further those interests that shall bemost beneficial to the student body at large.In furthering those interests it is natural thatit should seek those channels by which itmay come directly in contact with the entireInstitute, -Faculty, Alumni, and Under-graduates.

We have received the hearty and generousco-operation of the Faculty, and those mem-bers who are heads of departments have espe-cially aided us by the news which they havecontributed. THE TECH is making unceasing

o efforts to obtain Alumni Notes, by means ofwhich it hopes to arouse the dormant interestfor Alma Mater in the graduates. We havesucceeded to a certain extent and feel confi-

To the Faculty and Alumni THE TECH ex-tends its most heartfelt thanks for past favorsand sincerely hopes for their continuance.To the undergraduates THE TECH owes whatsuccess it has attained, but is that success inkeeping with the privileges which are grantedyou here at this Institute? You have ire-sponded generously as a class in regard tosubscriptions; but what we need most is yourunprejudiced criticisms. Criticisms by whichwe may see our failings, and thereby have anopportunity to correct them.

THE TECH stands ever ready to help thoseorganizations or schemes by which the sociallife at the Institute may be augmented; but itcannot do so unless it has your hearty andwhole-souled co-operation.

In closing, let me make an appeal in behalfof the editors. An appeal for every man inthis class who thinks he has any literaryability, to try for THE TECH Board. Thesuccess of the paper for the next two yearsdepends, to a great extent, upon the Class of'99. Shall we accept this heritage, or shallwe refuse it?

Class Day Officers.

THE following men were elected as theClass Day Officers of '97 last Thursday. FirstMarshal, H. A. Noble; Second Marshal, H.W. Allen; Third Marshal, P. L. Dougherty;Historian, H. W. Ballou; Orator, H.

The Sophomores have completed the coursein Electricity and begun the study of Optics.

First Freshman: "' Have you been over tothe roller skating rink yet?"

Second Freshman: " Naw, that sort of skat-ing doesn't cut any ice."

Professor Despradelles says that many ofthe Junior designs now on exhibition in theArchitectural Building, would obtain the men-tions in the Ecole des Beaux Arts at Paris.Why shouldn't they !

Edward North, I9oo, will describe someexperiences in a French school at the meetingof L'Avenir to-morrow. All men interested,and especially members of the lower classes,are urged to attend. The meeting is in Room23 Walker, at 4.15.

The fifth lecture on Photography was givenon Tuesday, March I6, at 4.I5, in Room 22

Walker Building, by Mr. Derr of the Physi-cal Department. The four preceding onesdealt with the subject from the standpoint ofOptics. This one, as well as two or three tofollow, deals with the Chemistry of Pho-tography. Later lectures will-deal with thevarious printing processes, the making ofslides, and the use of the lantern. The courseis particularly valuable to upper classmen inthe Engineering courses.

The next meeting of the Electrical En-gineering Society will be held on Friday eve-ning, March Ig9 th. Professor Puffer, of theElectrical Engineering Department, will de-liver an experimental lecture on "Alternate

ICurrent Phenomena," with the object of pre- senting in tangible form the laws with which the students are familiar from a theoreticalstandpoint. The lecture will be thoroughlyillustrated and will be very interesting andinstructive to all, especially to the Seniormembers of the society.

A Members' Reception was held at theY. M. C. A. Student House, 466 Massachu -setts Avenue, on Thursday evening, MarchIth, at 7.30 o'clock. Alexander McKenzie,

D.D., was the guest of the evening. Mr. I.O. Whiting, Mr. Arthur S. Johnson, and Sec- retary Mahaffy of the City Association, several Technology Alumni and about forty-five mem- bers of the Technology Association werepresent. The early part of the evening wasspent in social intercourse. A short informaladdress, full of suggestion for Y. M. C. A.work, was given by Dr. McKenzie. Laterrefreshments were served.

Tuesday evening, March 9, at the Bruns- wick, one hundred and fifty members and guests were present at the fifteenth annualdinner of the Boston Society of Civil En-gineers. After a bountiful repast Professor,Swain, President of the Society, introducedMr. Wm. R. Hutton, one of the Vice Presi-dents of the American Society of Civil En-gineers. Mr. Hutton spoke of the relationbetween Civil, Mechanical, and ElectricalEngineers. President Mendenhall of theWorcester Polytechnic Institute spoke atlength on the education of engineers, andadvocated a high degree of precision in allengineering work. He considers ElectricalEngineering the most perfect type, for in thiscase the science of the profession precededthe art. President Clark, of the N.Y., N. H.& H. R. R., complimented very highly theintegrity of civil engineers. Remarks were also made by Mr. W. B. de las Casas, Chair-man of the Metropolitan Park Commission,by Mr. Emil Swensson, of Pittsburg, and byMr. Karl E. Hilgaro, of St. Paul.

Professor Allen's Informal Talks.

ON Friday afternoon, March I2th, ProfessorAllen gave another of his illustrated talks tothe students of Course I.; this time on 1" GoodRoads, Bad Roads, and Highway Location."In dwelling upon the excessive operating ex-penses of most of our highways, he statedthat American transporters would be war-ranted in making an outlay of a billion dollarsfor the improvement of existing roadways.

The appreciation of the fact that moneyspent in improving roads is well investedcapital, has led European countries to makea special point of this element of interiordevelopment, and to thereby better theirdomestic as well as foreign commerce. Thisexercise of good. judgment slightly precededthe establishment of railways, so that inEurope to-day the conditions are of the best;while in America, on the contrary, the rapidgrowth of the country has been due to rail-road construction. The result is that littleforesight has been used, a hasty stride indevelopment has been taken, and we are nowbrought face to face with the demand for bet-ter facilities for local traffic. The questionis of growing importance, and facts werebrought out by Professor Allen to the effectthat action is being taken throughout thecountry to bring about the necessary improve-ment. At these informal talks, ProfessorAllen is always in the best of humors, andmakes many side remarks that are mostpertinent and witty.

The Intercollegiate Drill.

THE Intercollegiate Drill has been arrangedfor Friday evening, May 2Ist. As previously,Technology has challenged Brown to com-pete in the Battalion Drill. It is probable thatthe colleges to take part in the IndividualDrill will also be the same as last year,namely: Harvard, Brown, Amherst, "Aggie,"and M. I. T.

The Technology Battalion will meet theBrown Battalion at the depot, and escort themto Mechanics Building, where they will beentertained. The contest will take place inMechanics Hall, at 7.30 o'clock; doors openat 7. The programme will be similar to thatof last year, including the Battalion Parade,Individual Drill, Battalion Drill, and awardingof prizes, followed by dancing.

The M. I. T. squad to compete in the In-dividual Drill will be composed of six prindi-pals and one substitute chosen by competition,on March I7th, at 4.Io, in the South Armory.This event is, as usual, open to all students atTechnology. Little can at present be saidregarding the comparative merits of the twocompeting battalions. It is stated that theofficers of the Brown Battalion are all upperclassmen.

The prizes consist of a banner for the col-lege winning the Battalion Drill, and twomedals for the first and second men in Individ-ual Drill. The judges have not been selectedas yet, but they will be officers of the U. S.Army. His Excellency, Governor Lippitt, ofRhode Island, has consented to be present andaward the prizes. It is expected that this factwill inspire the cadets from Brown to unprec-edented effort.

Athletic Association.

THE annual meeting of the Athletic Asso-ciation took place last Saturday in Room iiRogers, with President Allen in the chair.The attendance was very good, there beingsome 65 or 70 members present. Mr. Wash-burn, the treasurer, read his report, whichshowed a balance of a little over two dollarsin the treasury. The election of officers thenfollowed: Mr. Grosvenor, '98, was chosenPresident; Mr. Morse, '99, Vice President;Mr. Mayer, '98, Secretary; and Mr. Lan-singh, '98, Treasurer.

Mr. Allen then spoke upon the advisabilityof having a graduate management of Athletics.

It was voted that the sense of the meeting wasin ' favor of such a boa.rd. A discussion ofthe advisability of sending a team to the relayraces at Philadelphia followed, and a com-mittee of the President, Vice President, andTreasurer, was elected to inquire into the ex-pense of sending the team. Messrs.- Hurd,Strickland, and Lansingh also spoke. Themeeting then adjourned.

(OMMUNIGAIFIONS.

The Editors do not hold th/emselves refsponsible for opin-ions expressed by correspondents.

To THE EDITORS OF THE TECH;-

I wish to denounce the action of the peevish malcon-tent who used these columns last week to make amalicious and personal attack upon one of the speakersof the Junior Class Dinner. The writer conceitedlyavers that he speaks "in the name of many;" this isplainly an exaggeration, but if it be true, I shudder atthe possible number of intolerant, aggressive, andegoistic spirits in the Class of '98. He asserts also, inreferring to the speaker, that he "cannot comprehendhow a man . . . can be so hidebound," etc., and thenmakes an awkward and painful attempt to twist thespeaker's words into various uncanny and glaringabsurdities, which not only show a pitiable state of mind,but also the lengths to which the writer will go to satisfya personal spite. It is lamentable that such people asour friend exist, but we cannot close our eyes to themelancholy fact.

The speaker referred to did not directly discounten-ance the higher education of women. He objectedonly to education in those branches which do notproperly lie in woman's sphere, and which would crushout true womanly spirit and transform our homes intobare wastes of unsentimental, non-domestic, and un-artistic dreariness. It certainly seems as if the speakerwere justified in repeating a generally accepted opinion,-an opinion that denounces any attempt to drag gentlewoman down to man's moral level.

The writer of the whimsical lampoon closes by hint-ing that the "refining influence" of the Co-eds waslost on the speaker. As it is a very mournful fact thatvery few of us have the fortune to know many of thefairer students of the Institute, it is hard to see howour lives can be thrilled and swayed by their influence.If our friend is an example of what the Co-eds of Tech.can do, we must needs hang our heads with shame, andfill our hearts with boundless pity.

A FOE TO CALUMNY.

Types of Freshmen.THERE are many types of Freshmen. Per-

haps the most common as well as the mostamusing of them all is the assertive Fresh-man. He generally carries a cane, and hisdefiant bearing is calculated to cow the Sophs.He has a habit of talking loudly in the corri-dors about the cane rush, class honor, andkindred subjects. He is proud of being aFreshman, and lets everyone see it.

In direct contrast to him is another commontype of Freshman. He wears a light felt hat,smokes cigarettes violently, and tries in num-erous other ways to pass for an upper class-man. His calm air of superiority stamps him-so he thinks-as one deeply versed in thetreacherous paths of the Institute. He is gen-erally to be found before the third-year bulle-tin board, which he affects to study atten-tively, much to the awe of his simpler class-mates.

On Wednesdays still another type of Fresh-man is prominent; namely, he who strutsproudly about arrayed in full uniform, withofficer's stripes gleaming on his sleeves. Heis so proud of these insignia of power that heimproves every opportunity of displayingthem to his admiring fellow-students, some-times even coming to recitations without anovercoat during the coldest weather. Nay,it is even rumored that one misguided youthtraveled for two days in his uniform, so as toappear before his admiring relatives a full-fledged soldier.

E. N.

The "'Grnd."

The "Grind" is he who o'er his booksDoth tarry far too long.

He never takes an evening off;To "flunk" he thinks quite wrong.

His pallid cheek would fain relateHow midnight oil he burned.

The mark he gets is always C;His lesson's always learned.

But when the class has been dismissed,Why tarries he behind?

Oh, now, he "jollies up" the Prof.;An axe, it is, he'll grind.

THEA TJI~~~~~~CH 189~~~

'86. P. R. Fletcher is City Engineer ofthe towns of Blue Island and Morgan Parkin Illinois. Mr. Fletcher will be rememberedas one of Technology's old-time footballplayers.

'9 I . Frank H. Dorr, of Course VI., whodied January 9 th, at his home in Somersworth,N. H., was a most promising electrical engi-neer. Previous to the long illness which re-sulted in his death, Mr. Dorr was employedas an electrical expert with the General Elec-tric Company, and was stationed at Chicago.His employer has words of highest praise forhis efficiency, such as few men deserve.They may be here inscribed as a monumentto the life which has passed from earth, " Hedid everything he was asked to do better thanwas expected or required of him."

'89. Geo. M. Bosford, of Course II., whois Mechanical Editor of Tlhe Raielway ieview,is signally successful in the line of work whichhe has taken up. His friends say of him thathe is peculiarly adapted to his work. Heholds a position that his predecessors havefound a most trying one; yet Mr. Bosford hasso ably organized his department that hiswork is most efficient. Mr. David L. Barnes,deceased, who was for a year or so a studentat Technology in '78 and '79, formerly occu-pied this position as Mechanical Editor ofT7'e Railway Review. The latter, we willhave something to say about in our nextissue. Mr. Bosford holds the position asSecretary of the Western Railway Club, andin this capacity is also Editor of their Journalof Official Proceedings, which is publishedmonthly.

G. F. Ulmer, '98, was recently elected cap-tain of the 'Varsity Football Team in place ofE. C. Emery, '98, resigned. Mr. Ulmer hasplayed on the team since his Freshman year,and has always put up a good game at guard.

It is hoped that Tech. men will support theScratch games on March 20oth both in attend-ance and entries. The programme is a verygood one, and there promises to be a largenumber of entries. The admission is reducedto twenty-five cents this year. For men whohave never won a prize for sprinting, there isa good chance in the novice 35-yard dash.

The Boston College meet was a great suc-cess, and the programme was interestingfrom beginning to end. There was a goodsized crowd in the Tech. section and thecheering was brisk and lively. There weresix or eight Tech. entries besides the teamrace, but Grosvenor was the only man tosecure a place. In the final heat in the forty-yard invitation he easily tied Wefers, but thejudges thought otherwise, and Wefers wasgiven the race. The members of the relayteam covered themselves with glory, and cer-tainly they deserve great credit. Boston Col-lege won the toss and got the pole, but Gros-venor who ran first immediately took the leadand finished well ahead of his man. Priestran next and opened up the gap still more, asdid Lathrop, the third man. After that, therace was never in doubt, and Stebbins, thoughhe did not gain anything, finished ten or fif-teen yards ahead of Holland, of Boston Col-lege. The time, 3 min. i9- sec., was the fast-est of the evening, and was the same time that

I Brown made against us at the B. A. A. meeting.

190 THE TECH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE Lounger is glad that another class now shares

with '98 the supreme glory of a special number, forever since the honor awarded them last spring thegallant Junior's self-approbation has been painfully

apparent. Of course it was last year more particularly,that the sons of '99 came under the Lounger's pro-tecting care; and he is constrained to say that neversince his installation as the patron of Freshmen hashe had such a troublesome lot of youngsters to deal

with. They would have a class pipe; they would

drink ginger ale; they would go to Keith's; and in

every way showed a firm determination to be quitemen of the world. Nevertheless for a bit of a dance,

which the Lounger enjoyed after the drill last spring,he is strongly tempted to let all the youthful follies beforgotten. This year, too,'99 has sown its wild oats and

has settled down quietly to feel them. In the matterof the cane rush the wily Sophs made up in legal acu-men and oratorical talent for any lack of brawn andmuscle. Finally, it has elected a " Technique " ElectoralCommittee without any scandal about Fraternity orCourse II. rings. May it choose its Class-day officers,when that time comes, with as great unanimity.

When the Boston Herald digresses from the sub-ject of prize-fighting and treats of matters literary orscientific the result is liable to be amusing. Somethree weeks since an inspired emendation greeted thelounger's matutinal gaze upon the subject of "TheElectric Revolution in Railroading." The Heratld,like some Sophomore architects, considers electricity avery deep subject. With a charming naivete, itrelates that when eleven men, employed on a railroad,were asked whether a current passed along the out-side or through the body of a conductor, five saidoutside, five inside, and the eleventh was.non-com-mittal. This, the Herald thinks, shows how very"occult" the whole subject is, and the herald wagsits head sagely. Moreover, when a scientific man,

who recently lectured before the Lowell Institute,very kindly set the matter right in a communication,the Herald lost its temper, and last Sunday attemptedwith convincing sarcasm to justify " newspaper expo-sition of scientific progress," which " consists in theinterpretation of scientific men to the ordinaryreader." Now, the Lounger would suggest to theHerald that the lesson it should learn from this littlefaux pas is to leave the " exposition of scientific prog-ress" to more legitimate agents. Scientific men, asa rule, have neither time nor inclination to seek news-paper notoriety, and when the Lounger reads an"interpretation of the language of scientific men," heis inclined to suspect that the interpretation is un-authorized or the scientific man a charlatan.

The Lounger has heard dim rumors in the past 'ofdifficulties between the President of the Athletic Asso-ciation and the Captain of the Track team. He ispleased to note that the recent election has laid thefoundation for a more peaceable state of things. In-deed he is assured that there will be perfect unanimityof action in the future between these two function-aries. It is only another case of the lion and the lamblying down together-the lamb inside the lion.

Recently, a student at the Institute, well known tohis friends, and popular with those who like him, madea call upon a young lady, as students sometimes will.Now it began to storm with great fierceness while hemade his call, a thing which also sometimes happensin Boston. The young man had a long distance togo, and seeing the inclemency of the weather themaiden took pity on him and asked him to spend thenight. When the youth came down to breakfast inthe morning they asked him how his coat and hat,which hung in the hall, came to be. dripping withwater. "Why," said the guest, with a slight hesitancy,"I went home for my pajamas !"

Four years ago, a martial man,I " sighed" on Alexander's plan.But now I say (speech then abhorred)The pen is mightier than the sword !"

But mine's a transitory stage,-This is a mercenary age,-I'll doubtless yet say, nothing loath,

Park Theatre.- "A Stranger in NewYork " is meeting with success at the Park Theatre.It is a bright play full of catchy music and funnysituations, and is altogether worth seeing.

Boston _MYuseur/n.-The great success attend'ing the first week of "Secret Service" at TheMuseum is only a forerunner of the weeks to come,when, as usual, the capacity of the theatre is to betested. The genius of Mr. Gillette is justly rewar-ded by the appreciative audiences, and his acting isalso a prime factor in the enjoyment of this thelatest Museum sensation.

IMolis Street Theatre.- Nat Goodwinbegins his engagement at the Hollis March 22.He will open with an entirely new play, "AnAmerican Citizen," by Madeline Ryley, who alsowrote "Christopher, Jr." Mr. Goodwin's greatpopularity was clearly demonstrated by the tremen-dous advance sale. Boston will always extend tohim a hearty welcome.

Tremont Theatre.- -" Two Little Vagrants"will begin an engagement at the Tremont Theatre,March 22, with the original cast. Jessie Busleyand Minnie Dupree created a sensation when firstseen here in this great play, as the two devotedlittle ragamuffins call forth very high praise, 'andthere is no doubt about their reappearance beingcrowned with success.

Castle Square Theatre.-Bizet's "Carmen"and Balfe's " Satanella" are to be given at CastleSquare, and the many admirers of Richie Ling willbe pleased to know that he will be heard in theseproductions, and it is to be hoped that the manage-ment will be able to retain the two latest additionsto this popular company.

The Zoo.--" Joe" is the feature of the exhi-bition at the Zoo. " Joe's" accomplishments are asurprise to all, and it seems hard to realize that heis only an animal, don't fail to see him.
